What we are comparing and contrasting is technology, writing, and job specialization. Technology has changed a lot over time. Examples of technology are irrigation systems,and wheels. Irrigation systems are used by villages on the border of the rivers. They carry water from the river, over to the crops in a quicker, and easier way for the village people. The wheels were a big help for the ancient people. They used to Cary everything from place to place. But they invented wheels to make it easier for them.

New technology examples are Computers, and Television. Computers are an instrument of technology which aids in the distribution of information, products, and amusement. They come in al shapes and sizes. They make finding information easier and quicker for the everyday person. TV's are almost like computers. Television is a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens. It is used to broadcast programs for entertainment, education, and amusement.

Writting

Writing has changed over time. Examples of writing in ancient Egypt are Pictograms, and Heiroglyphics. Pictograms are simple drawings that looked like the objects they represented. Heiroglyphics was a formal writing system used by ancient Egyptians that combined Logographic and Alphabetic elements. These forms of writing were written on wood and cave walls.

In today's society we use our own English Alphabet. There are 26 letters in the Alphabet. We write on paper, and type it on the computer. The letters in the Alphabet are pronounced as sounds that can combine, in order to make words.

These writing systems are similar because both forms of the alphabet can be written down. They can also be pronounced into sounds that when they are combined, they form words.

Each one was invented by and intelligent being. They are different because the Ancient Egypt alphabet looked like the symbols they represented. However in the English alphabet they are letters, they don't look like the object they represent. The way they were written down were different. Ancient Egypt wrote theirs down on wood or cave walls, and Today we write it on paper, and type it on the computer.
